Saturday morning, flight trackers picked up a host of stealthy U.S. B-2 bombers that took off from their Air Force base in Missouri and headed west over the Pacific. It was a ruse.
Hours later, a group of B-2s attacked Iran’s most important nuclear sites from the east, defense officials said, hitting well-defended facilities where giant U.S. bunker busters were thought to have the greatest chance of success. President Trump said U.S. submarines firing cruise missiles joined in the attack, striking other key nuclear facilities.
The move allowed the U.S. to get its bombers over Iran faster and with a lower risk of detection. The timing also helped hide the mission’s aim. In the past few days, President Trump has said he would take up to two weeks to decide whether to attack to give diplomacy a chance to work. There had been no order given to ready a B-2 strike, officials said Saturday morning.
The net effect of the maneuvers and communications was the impression that Iran had more time before the bombs came.
“Decoy indeed,” one of the defense officials said of the westward feint that masked the bombers that carried out the attack. “‘Hiding’’’ them and preserving the element of surprise was critical.”
Trump gave the final order to go ahead Saturday afternoon East Coast time at his private club in New Jersey.
“The goal was to create a situation when everyone wasn’t expecting it,” a senior administration official said of the timing of the president’s order.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
“The Art of the Deal” has an all new chapter!
WTH dos the wsj think should be done?????
Give them a heads up??? Allow them notice so Americans can be slaughtered?????
Traitors in full view.
do they do ruses with how many pizzas are being ordered near military locations as well?
“Liar, Liar Pants on Fire”
I figured bombers could fly direct from the US and assumed the dirty work would be done this weekend when markets closed.
I picked Saturday night for the attack in my thinking.
The US does the work of Israel again like it started doing in Iraq in 2003 so “the Jews” don’t get blamed again and suffer for it.
The Neocon Scheme I figure it was it’s up to the American people to figure out if that’s the best policy or not.
I support Israel in “The West Bank” that’s for sure among other things.
But I also could see a Palestinian state in southern Jordan do the Saudis, Qataris, Turks want it or give a rip about it or just under the table schemers with Israel.
They diss Israel and do squat for the Palestinians.
Now - imagine drunkard whoring Kamala, teetering as she nurses a margarita, standing at the CiC podium and sternly looking at the camera while trying to warn Iran to stop their nuclear program which is DAYS away from having a nuclear bomb that some militant mentally ill psycho will drop willy nilly.
Kamala, holding on to the edge of the podium for dear life in front of the cameras, sweating through the spackled makeup and trying to look and sound Presidential, utters the ONE word that puts fear in every terrorists heart-
“DON’T”.
It is reasons like THIS that we shun Democrats in every single part of our lives. They could have stolen the election and put her in charge or at least put her as the face of this situation while the democrats WHO HATE AMERICA would have insisted that Iran have nukes.
Iran has deserved a swift *ss kicking since 1979... And as a colorful poet named Neil Young once said... ‘Comes a time’. And that time has come for these blood thirsty anti-Sematic Jew hating Ayatollahs.
If they want to continue running Persia, they’ll need to give up nuclear tech. Period! If they don’t want to, Trump will install a replacement regime that doesn’t pursue nuclear tech. and doesn’t fund Jew haters like Hamas.
Thank God President Trump fired Charles Q. Brown Jr. and replaced him with General Dan Caine as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Not sure that preening over all the feints and misdirections is the way to go here.
Job well done!
One key takeaway is that the internal leaking has finally been brought under control.
That was a tough challenge.
“Traitors in full view.”
Yes! And if they had known, more than half of the members of congress would have immediately spilled the beans.
For the past couple of decades America has looked weak and ineffectual.
Thanks to Trump, not anymore... It’s time for America and the rest of the western free allies to start asserting their considerable power and stand up to these regimes being run by lunatics and dictators.
With friends and allies like Russia, North Korea and China... Iran doesn’t stand a chance. LOL
The WSJ article is called news reporting. If you read the article you will see it is not critical. It simply states what happens. It is not critical in anyway.
Yesterday the WSJ urged Trump to strike. That was published in what is known as an opinion piece or editorial. That’s what the WSJ thinks should be done.
Your rant was unwarranted and ignorant.
females tend to rant ...
WTH dos the wsj think should be done?????
The MSM thinks they should have been included in the process.
Operation Midnight Hammer
I want some Red Ruses
For those blue Mullahs
If you'd send them
That would be so swell
And if they do the trick
I'll hurry back and pick
Some MOPs and MOABs
And blow them all to hell
